OMSA install; Visual Basic Script error

All Selected Features An error occured while attempting to execute a Visual Basic Script. Please confirm that Visual Basic files are installed correctly.

I am trying to install OMSA on an R720 running Windows Server Standard 2012 R2 and I am getting the above error message.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have Google'd and can find nothing.

Hi,

Step 1.18 on the FAQ has some steps to try for this error. http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/systems-management/w/wiki/4886.frequently-asked-questions-server-administrator

1.18 In the Prerequisite Checker screen, I get the following message. What can I do to resolve this problem? An error occurred while attempting to execute a Visual Basic Script. Please confirm that Visual Basic files are installed correctly.

This error occurs when the Prerequisite Checker accesses the Systems Management script, vbstest.vbs (a Visual Basic script), to verify the installation environment, and the script fails. The possible causes are:

  • Incorrect Internet Explorer Security Settings.

Ensure that ToolsInternet OptionsSecurityCustom level…ScriptingActive scripting is set to Enable.

Ensure that ToolsInternet OptionsSecurityCustom level…ScriptingScripting of Java applets is set to Enable.

  • Windows Scripting Host (WSH) has disabled the running of VBS scripts. The WSH is installed by default during the operating system installation. On Windows 2003, WSH can be configured to prevent the running of scripts with a .VBS extension.
  • Right-click My Computer on the desktop and click OpenTools Folder Options…File Types.
  • Look for the VBS file extension and ensure that File Types is set to VBScript Script File.
  • If not, click Change and choose Microsoft Windows Based Script Host as the application that gets enabled to run the script.

WSH is the wrong version, corrupted, or not installed. Download WSH from msdn.microsoft.com.
